Idealista Scraper - Spain Italy Portugal Property

What does Idealista Scraper do?

Scrape Idealista property listings in Spain, Italy, and Portugal for sale and to rent, then export structured real-estate data to an Apify Dataset. This Actor is a practical Idealista API alternative for agencies, investors, researchers, and automations that need clean housing data from:

• Idealista Spain (idealista.com)
• Idealista Italy (idealista.it)
• Idealista Portugal (idealista.pt)

Set country, a location path, or paste Idealista search / detail URLs. Optionally open each listing detail page to enrich prices, rooms, living space, agency contacts, descriptions, and photos. Supports all top-nav Idealista property categories (homes, new builds, rooms, garages, storage, offices, commercial, land, buildings, holiday, business transfer).

Why scrape Idealista?

Idealista is one of Southern Europe’s largest property portals across Spain, Italy, and Portugal. Scraping Idealista listings helps with:

• Cross-border market research and price benchmarking (Madrid, Barcelona, Roma, Lisboa…)
• Lead generation for agencies, mortgage brokers, and service providers
• Investment screening across sale and rental inventory
• Monitoring new Idealista listings, price drops, and agency coverage
• Feeding dashboards, CRMs, spreadsheets, or AI agent workflows

How to scrape Idealista property data

1. Open this Actor and click Try for free (or Start).
2. Set country to ES, IT, or PT (or paste Idealista startUrls — the host infers the market).
3. Set location (for example madrid-madrid, roma-roma, lisboa) or provide search URLs.
4. Choose channel: BUY for sale or RENT for to-rent.
5. Set maxItems and maxPages for a small test first.
6. Enable scrapeDetails when you need agency names, full descriptions, and media from detail pages.
7. Prefer Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy with country matching the market (ES / IT / PT).
8. Click Start, then download the Dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, or JSONL.

Example input (Spain — Madrid for sale)

{
  "country": "ES",
  "location": "madrid-madrid",
  "channel": "BUY",
  "propertyType": "homes",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "scrapeDetails": true,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "ES"
  }
}

Example input (Italy — Roma for sale)

{
  "country": "IT",
  "location": "roma-roma",
  "channel": "BUY",
  "propertyType": "homes",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "IT"
  }
}

Example input (Portugal — Lisboa to rent)

{
  "country": "PT",
  "location": "lisboa",
  "channel": "RENT",
  "propertyType": "homes",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"],
    "apifyProxyCountry": "PT"
  }
}

Idealista markets and URL patterns

Country	Host	BUY path	RENT path	Detail path	Default location
ES	idealista.com	/venta-*	/alquiler-*	/inmueble/{id}/, /obra-nueva/{id}/	madrid-madrid
IT	idealista.it	/vendita-*	/affitto-*	/immobile/{id}/	roma-roma
PT	idealista.pt	/comprar-*	/arrendar-*	/imovel/{id}/	lisboa

Business-transfer searches omit the buy/rent prefix: /traspasos/, /cessione-attivita/, /trespasse/.

Run one Idealista country per Actor run. Mixing .com / .it / .pt URLs in the same input is rejected.

Property types (propertyType)

Logical aliases work in every market: homes, new_homes, rooms, garages, storage, offices, commercial, land, buildings, holiday, business_transfer.

Market	Local path segments
ES	obranueva, viviendas, habitacion, garajes, trasteros, oficinas, locales, terrenos, edificios, vacacional, traspasos
IT	nuove_costruzioni, case, stanze, garage, cantine, uffici, negozi, terreni, edifici, case_vacanze, cessione-attivita
PT	empreendimentos, casas, quarto, garagens, arrecadacoes, escritorios, lojas_ou_armazens, terrenos, predios, trespasse

Notes:

• Room types (habitacion / stanze / quarto) are rent-only; channel=BUY is coerced to RENT.
• Portugal “Para férias” on the homepage redirects to Rentalia (external); use ES vacacional / IT case_vacanze for on-site holiday inventory.
• You can always paste a category search URL in startUrls instead of setting propertyType.

Example input (Spain — storage / trasteros)

{
  "country": "ES",
  "location": "madrid-madrid",
  "channel": "BUY",
  "propertyType": "storage",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "scrapeDetails": false
}

Example input (Italy — commercial / negozi)

{
  "country": "IT",
  "location": "roma-roma",
  "channel": "RENT",
  "propertyType": "commercial",
  "maxItems": 5,
  "maxPages": 1,
  "scrapeDetails": false
}

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event pricing:

Event	Price
Actor start (apify-actor-start)	$0.005 per start
Result (apify-default-dataset-item)	$2.50 / 1,000 results ($0.0025 each)

Platform usage costs are paid by the user (compute, residential proxy transfer, storage). Idealista is protected by DataDome, so residential proxy usage is expected on cloud runs.

Idealista scraping tips for better results

• Start with maxItems=3–10 and maxPages=1 to validate location and proxy.
• Match proxy country to the Idealista market (ES / IT / PT).
• Keep a non-zero requestDelayMillis (for example 3000–4000) for DataDome stability.
• Prefer search URLs from the live Idealista site when a location path is unclear.
• Use scrapeDetails=true only when you need agency / media enrichment (higher runtime and proxy use).
• Do not mix Spain, Italy, and Portugal URLs in one run.

Live View / standby endpoints

When the Actor runs in standby / Live View mode, these operational endpoints are available:

Method	Path	Purpose
GET	/	Service info
GET	/health	Health check
GET	/input-example	Low-cost input example
GET	/openapi.json	Deployed OpenAPI document

Scraping still runs through a normal Actor run (not these standby endpoints).

Is it legal to scrape Idealista?

Scraping publicly available Idealista listing data for research, market analysis, or internal business intelligence is commonly done, but you must follow Idealista’s terms, local law, and privacy rules. Do not scrape personal data you are not allowed to process, and respect robots / rate limits. This Actor is provided as a technical tool; you are responsible for lawful use.

FAQ

Can I scrape Idealista Spain, Italy, and Portugal with one Actor?

Yes. Set country to ES, IT, or PT, or paste URLs from idealista.com, idealista.it, or idealista.pt. Run one country per job.

Is this an Idealista API?

No. Idealista does not offer a public listing API for this use case. This Actor is an Idealista API alternative that extracts data from Idealista search and detail pages.

Why do I need a residential proxy?

Idealista uses DataDome. Direct / datacenter HTTP often returns 403. Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy in the target country is required for reliable cloud runs.

What is the difference between scrapeDetails=false and true?

false is faster and cheaper: Idealista search cards only. true opens each detail page for agency names, fuller descriptions, and media metadata.

Can I export Idealista data to Excel or CSV?

Yes. After the run finishes, download the Dataset as Excel, CSV, JSON, or JSONL from the Apify Console, or pull it via the Apify API.

How do I scrape Idealista rentals only?

Set channel to RENT (maps to /alquiler-*, /affitto-*, or /arrendar-* depending on country).

Support

If a run fails or returns empty results, check the run log for DataDome / proxy messages and open an Apify issue on this Actor with the run ID, country, location or startUrls, and whether scrapeDetails was enabled.
